What Am I?

I know some things about physics so let me take this apart line by line.  I believe it is the infamous "string" from string theory of quantum mechanics.

I cannot be felt, seen or touched;
(Strings can not be probed or sensed in any way because they are 10^-32 micros in size.  This is smaller than an atom and thus we can not build a machine to sense it.)

Yet I can be found in everybody;
(Strings are in every THING and by definition of "everything", that includes "everybody".)

My existance is always in debate;
(Tell me about it.  Scientists get a bit savage with their precious theories...)

Yet I have my own style of music.
(This is what prompted me to think of string theory.  It is a slightly philosophical theory in that strings are what we use to play some instruments and can then make music.  String theory holds that energy is channled by these one-dimensional "strings" vibrating rapidly, or music.)

Anyone care to debate this as a possible second answer?
